I have never tried 500, but it sounds up my alley so I went all in. Also 1oz samples of Irish Mist, Blend 111 and Burley Plug Cut which is Peretti’s Edgeworth Match.

Good selections to start the year

Enjoy !

But it would probably smoke a little bit better in a new pipe - just saying
That makes sense. I need to start cellaring pipes and break out a new one every now and again.

I used those for a while, but I got tired of the crispy tobacco.

I'll be smoking out of them everyday. I don't plan on using them for storage like you.

Finally getting around to trying Penny Farthing, and I think I’m in love. Ordered a couple tins, one to smoke and one to age.

I do the same thing, keep it by the door.

I would think with your blending background you could come up with something close . . .

From a current tobacco perspective two that strike me as having the right components/flavors for a "like mix" would be blend of Mac Baren Symphony and Stokkebye Luxury Twist Flake.

Well, my attempts to place an order for a couple of pounds of LC Vanilla have come to naught. Smokingpipes can no longer ship "flavored" tobacco to the lovely socialist republic of which I am a resident. Ah well. Nothing to be done for it, I suppose, except rant impotently. (*RANT*) There. That's done with. Thanks for listening. My tastebuds will just have to adjust something else.

You can always order and have it shipped to someone like myself (although maybe someone in a different state that doesn't also add excise tax and adult signature fees) who could then forward it on to you. Food for thought. Be a few dollars extra because of shipping twice, but better than going without
